Thanks! I'll throw up a few more updates I'm working on today when I get some things finished up! I also ordered carpet 10 minutes ago!

Check out Rex's floor, his has a drawer. If I had a shop with as many things laying around as he does I'd go crazy.

Well I got the wiring ran for my two Hellas and built my switch panel too. I'm going to carpet the sheet metal when I get it in next week. Hopefully I'll get some switches tomorrow and get them totally wired and lit. I'll also run the wiring for my other two lights that I got for free as well!

Here's the engine bay. The red shows where the wiring runs. From the battery I've got it run around in through the firewall near where the gas pedal comes out. I've got a few holes drilled there for my posi lock diff cable, and then wiring ran through another hole for lights. Anyways, I've got it wrapped in the new smurf tubing. I'm using 14 gauge wire and all power is running off one strand of positive to my extra fuse block. The grounds are all tied together and grounded on the body.

And a view from the floor inside through the firewall and under the center console.

Here's the fuse block I've got in the center console with the wiring tap spliced off the live positive.


I took a small piece of sheetmetal and traced the CD holder slot thingy and cut it out.

Then used some toggle bolts to hold it in place! Stury enough and will look good after carpet and switches too.


Should I get round switches or a toggle style? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Happy New Years by the way! Hope everyone had a safe night!

Toggle style since you don't have to worry about it smashing your knee

I ended up picking up some round rocker ones! They look great and will look even better after carpeting! I'm gonna finish wiring my other lights and then I'll post pictures!

Black with a small red led when they're flipped on! I'll try to get some pictures up soon!

That'll look real nice. I have rockers that I have no clue what I'll wire them to yet

Here's the mostly finished product. Still needs carpet and I'm going to rewire the first switch that does the roof lights. It'll instead be the third rocker on my new panel so they're all together. Here's a video of them all lit up. Took my brother out to the mountain to light it up a little, video doesn't do justice though!

Goes from factory to lows to Factory highs, outside amber fogs, inside Oval Hellas, then the Roof lights.


Here's head on in the daylight.

Looking down on the Switch Panel. I drilled pilot holes for another 3 switches when I find something else to turn on.

The wiring before I wrapped it in smurf tubing from the center console through the firewall.

Here's a shot from inside the center console looking up at the back of the panel. Used 3 toggle bolts to hold it in. Works great! Can't wait for carpet!

And here's the first switch that currently does the roof lights. I'm going to pull the dash and splice there so I can use my other switch. I'll probably use this switch for interior LEDS when I get around to it.
